The house is filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info An Niang was served by Cuihuan and finished washing, and then went to the old lady's side. Mother He and Qingyu had already prepared early, and when the old lady saw An Niang, a kind smile appeared on her face: "An Niang got up so early?" "An Niang asked the old lady to say goodbye. Looking left and right, he whispered, "Grandmother, has Daddy already eaten it?" The old lady patted her head with a smile and said, "Your father is going to go to the yamen to do things, of course he has already eaten." My little Anniang has grown up and knows that she cares about her father. An Niang's face was slightly red, and she said, "Grandmother, I haven't seen my father for several days." The last time he asked me to practice my handwriting, I was already writing. So I wanted to show it to my father. Mrs. Meng was a little helpless when she heard this, and said: "Your father is busy with official business now, so he doesn't have time to see An Niang, and when he rests in a few days, his grandmother will let him accompany An Niang!" An Niang nodded, obediently took a chopstick tofu skin to her grandmother, and said, "This tastes good, grandmother, try it!" The smile on Mrs. Meng's face was like a chrysanthemum in autumn, blooming wantonly. No matter who it is, having such a well-behaved and sensible little granddaughter will be as happy as her. The meal ended in such a warm atmosphere. Mother He and Cuihuan are used to seeing the harmony and warmth between their grandparents and grandchildren, so they naturally don't think there's anything. Qingyu, who has been standing aside to serve, is full of envy and melancholy. desperately suppressed himself, so that he did not vent the tears in his eyes.

The head of the household department saw Meng Yingqi's qualifications, and then looked at the gentle but simplely dressed young man in front of him, it was hard to imagine that he was actually an undergraduate tanhua and a proud protégé of Fang Xiangye. But no matter what way he came from, he didn't wait for a good Hanlin Academy, but he came to the troubled waters of the household department, so he had to let him know that it was powerful. Didn't Zhou Licheng Zhou before, just have to go to disaster relief and want to check the gap in the household department, and was pulled down? This kid still looks tender, it is said that he still has old grudges with Fu Shangshu, so he dares to come to Fu Shangshu's territory? So after a few lukewarm greetings, he sent him to check the old accounts of the household department over the years. These old accounts have long been put in place. The so-called verification is actually just a formality. No one has ever bothered to do that. So let this kid check it, after working for more than half a year, I guess he will know what it feels like to be on the cold bench.

So the household department has an extra figure who works hard every day. While other officials were sitting there with a cup of hot tea and a clear conversation, there was a young official who was buried in the pile of old papers, and from time to time he took a pen to record a thing or two. A busy look. "What kind of person I think Xinke Tanhua is, but it turns out to be a nerd! This kind of nerd who will only flip through old accounts, I really don't know what Fang Xiangye values about him? "Such people are good. Otherwise, how could Master Fu let him enter the household department with peace of mind? "There are so many old accounts over the years, I want to see if he can see a flower in it!" "Flowers are definitely not visible. Brother Guo, why don't you go back later and let's visit a famous flower together? The two young men who spoke were also petty officials of the ministry, but they came in not by their own skills, but by their family background. One is the eldest son of the prince of Zhenguo, and the other is the son of the queen mother's family. Because of this, they can't get used to Meng Yingqi's hard work, and Meng Yingqi doesn't bother to deal with them. Speaking of famous flowers, the two of them laughed together, and then the topic turned to the famous Fengyue place in the capital, and the famous beauties who met everywhere were like a few treasures. And Meng Yingqi read the account books of the household department over the years, but he had a feeling of being a treasure. Although it was true that he could not find anything of value in these books, they nevertheless gave him an understanding of the scope of the head of the household department and the functions of the household department in general, at least on the other hand. These things can't be covered in a few boring sentences in a book. Gradually, through the comparison of the overall income of the household in the harvest year and the disaster year, he gradually found some clues in those old account books.

When Fang Xiangye heard the numbers reported by Meng Yingqi to him, his whole mind woke up. I don't know if Meng Yingqi's ability is too strong, or if God is really on his side. At the beginning, he put Meng Yingqi in the household department, and his original plan was just to insert a nail in Fu Xiangru's territory first, and then talk about it if he didn't use it, and then make him uncomfortable first. Who knew that this nail could actually drill a hole in the other party. He looked up and down at the young man with a serious expression in front of him, and finally said what he had always wanted to say: "Yingqi, I heard that there is no one in your family to preside over the feed. The old man has a daughter, named Pearl, has always been regarded as the pearl of the palm, has not yet been promised, now the old man sees that you have a noble character, love your character and knowledge, want to marry this woman to you, I don't know what you think? Meng Yingqi obviously didn't expect his teacher to be so loving, and he thought of the wife in the temple, and he was silent for a while. After a long time, he spoke: "Thank you, sir, for your love." It's just your daughter, and I'm afraid the students won't be able to climb high. The student's family is poor, and he already has a daughter. I'm afraid that I have wronged your daughter. Fang Xiangye said: "What grievances are not grievances?" Since ancient times, the order of parents, the words of matchmakers. It's true that your marriage is a big deal, but I'm afraid you have to discuss it with your mother. Go back and talk to your mother and hear back to me as soon as possible. I await your good news! It turned out to be a tone of imperativeness. Meng Yingqi secretly complained in his heart. But I didn't dare to say anything more. had to accept it first, and then returned home in a daze.

When I returned home, I went to Meng's mother as soon as possible. Mother Meng saw that his expression was wrong, so she knew that her son must have something to discuss with her, so she asked Mother He to retreat first, and then asked with concern: "Yingqi, have you encountered something difficult?" Just talk to your mother and see if I can share it for you. Meng Yingqi didn't hide it, and said directly: "Mother, Fang Xiangye proposed to me today, and he is willing to marry his beloved daughter to me!" Mrs. Meng was shocked and said, "Then does he know that his palm bead is the steproom?" Meng Yingqi nodded and said, "The situation of our family, Xiangye knows everything. He said that he loved his son's character and knowledge, so he wanted to marry his beloved daughter. It's just that to this day, I still can't let go of Qianniang. How good is that? ”
